You removed xlibmesa3-glu which is required.

Why don't you try from source? You'd get better feedback on dependencies. You can use checkinstall to build a Deb pkg. after you configure and make.

Umm... I don't see anything about compiling kernel-headers...

Not that you can even compile them. They're headers, after all, not source files...
